If Robert did die in 1920 there is a death registered in March 1921 for a Robert Hunt Limerick District Vol 5 Page 239.  Might be worth getting in order to rule in or out when he actually did die.
Aghadowey had posted this when I realised you had mentioned this death in your compilation earlier. :)

Another thought- does anyone have the 1909 marriage certificate for Robert and Aileen- would be interesting to know Robert's marital status and occupation as well as witnesses.

After reading that list and the initial post- we don't know where all the children went. Was Aunt Dolly a Hunt or an Elmhirst?
Wonder if 'Aunt Dolly' was Dorothy Frances Elmhirst (Aileen's sister).

1957 ELMHIRST Dorothy Frances of Westbury Lodge Kilkee county Clare spinster died 30 August 1957 ay St. John of God Nursing Home Ennis county Clare probate London 25 November to Barbara Emiline Maconchy spinster. Effects £3897 9s 7d in England.

It has been posted and enquired about several times I think now. There is another Robert H in census- perhaps a relative but he is younger.
